WOMEN’S FASHION
– I can-t wear this dress to the party; said Pamela. I wore it last year.
– It looks all right to me William answered. You’ve only worn it a few times.
– I know, Pamela said, but it’s out of fashion. Look at this skirt. It’s much too long. And look at this waist-line. It’s in the wrong place.
– I thought a person’s waist was always in the same place; he said.
– Not in women’s fashion; his wife replied cheerfully. Waist-lines moved up three inches this year.
– In other words, William sighed, you want me to give you some money to buy a new dress.
– I’m afraid so, his wife replied.
– And what you will do with this dress, he asked.
– Oh, I’ll keep it till the fashion charges again
– Why can’t women be sensible? He asked. I’m going to wear my evening suit to the party. Do you know how long I’ve been wearing it? Twenty years! And it’s still in fashion.
